Importing datacard images into the Helios profile

To be able to use WDP images as datacard images in the Helios profile, it is necessary to make a few changes in WDP's export settings.  In WDP, click on the Settings button on the top row and under Saved Picture Size, tick the A5 size and Knee Updater format boxes.

Use WDP as normal, then after clicking on the Save DataCard button, press the Cards Directory button to go to where the images are saved.  The images will be saved as:
[flight callsign]_Comm_Left.jpg
[flight callsign]_Comm_Right.jpg
[flight callsign]_Left.jpg
[flight callsign]_Right.jpg
[flight callsign]_Briefing.jpg

These need to be renamed by basically removing the [flight callsign]_ section so that the images will now be:
Comm_Left.jpg
Comm_Right.jpg
Left.jpg
Right.jpg
Briefing.jpg

Cut/copy and paste these into the  /Helios/Images/-Ice's Falcon BMS ver.2/Data Card directory and they will show up once the Helios profile is started (or restarted).
